The fascinate's 2.2 upgrade broke Missed Calls indeed because after a missed call, the screen stays on and and unlocked. NoLED needs a lock screen to trigger, and, well, you don't have that.

I haven't seen a single phone being implemented that way, but Verizon/Samsung decided to do that for some reason. There is no way for me to tell whether the user is actually active on the phone (don't trigger) or not available.

You'll have to wait until I release a version that does not rely on the lock screen (question remains tricky as to how to distinguish user activity from a state after a missed call) or for Verizon/Samsung to fix that issue but I doubt the latter will ever happen knowing the Fascinate and the trouble I've been having getting things to be compatible with this phone.

You can try using WidgetLocker. I don't know if WL locks the screen after a missed call, if it does that then your problem is solved.

You could also probably use a program like Tasker to set the phone to shut the screen down right after a missed call (hmm.. maybe I could write a program that does just that as a temp fix!)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyby1023:
Thanks, I'll give WL and Tasker a spin. Seems like Fascinate remains VZ's step child.

NoLED

Noooooooooooo! One person complains and you want to change it! It's iconic, a part of NoLed history, so to speak. Those four dots in there represent where you started out. Please, do not change. He'll live despite the fact he thinks it's ugly.:)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
lol. well, ok. thanks for voicing your concerns.

noled's iconic heritage lives on.

[Android Apps and Games] BlackDalmatian:
I'm supposing that you are using Windows 7 at home with the old icons from Windows 3.1 or older, isnt? :rolleyes: :D

Seriously: on my Android all programs have nice icons. NoLED not. Why a so good program should have a poor icon? If it's possible, it will be nice to do something like with the notification icons: have the possibility to download or install a them.

@madmack: I will send to you the two png in some weeks. Please give me the specifications (size in pixel, max kb size, number of colors and so on...). :cool:

For example: why not using an Android Robot with black or red eyes? A mobile

phone with led on and off... Just to propose some ideas...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you know you can always use apk manager to replace these png files yourself right ?

you can still give me these two png files. no specifications to the number of colors required. make it square and pretty big with a transparent background. I'll resize it if necessary. something like 96px96px should do.

i'm not sure I can make the widget icon optional, but I'll have a look at it (should be doable)
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLED

That's the thing, I don't find the icon unattractive at all. And I remember back when NoLed was just dots. So, I am biased.:D

That would make everyone happy!:D

[Android Apps and Games] nitrousdave:
Using NoLed on my Captivate and was working fine until the lastg update. Now it seems to be notifying me each time K-9 mail checks for mail under the all others category and this is draining my battery a lot faster. Any ideas how to get it to stop doing this?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There isn't a feature that does that. I don't have the S2 (ordering one) but usually this kinda stuff requires a custom kernel and some extra root mods (see BLN by Neldar for example).

Yea, don't use Monitored Apps for K9. Toggle them using the build-in k9 support (go to toggle>emails) and you should see your k9 email accounts there. if they're not there, reinstall NoLED and they should appear.

Sometimes when you install K9 after NoLED, the permissions don't get passed over correctly so a reinstall fixes that.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
new beta out

Upped a beta version to the OP.

Had these changes in for a while but never added anything more. So nothing major, just some minor stuff here and there.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I'm happy with the current icons. Can they be nicer yes, but it's not as important as getting the quality of the icons better. With the larger icon sizes, it seems that the icons tend to get less sharp.

Sent from my Samsung i896
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
My only complaint about the icons is for the application icon itself. The single small red square at the top left just looks out of place amongst other icons on my Launcher Pro home screen. You could mistake it for part of the background, which if it were set to the same red would make it disappear all together.

It needs something to bulk it out and make it a similar size to other icons - maybe just a border?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I never considered the possibility that some might put that icon in their home screen. I only have it in my app drawer, which is a black background. but you have a good point. I'll see if I can at least border that red dot
[Android Apps and Games] gumis88:
I'm using Remember the Milk android app and I would like NoLed to react on "due task" notification and not on "synchronisation" notification. Is there a way to filter out certain types notifications for given app?

Thanks,

Marcin
[Android Apps and Games] magicmanfk:
Great app! Just one minor question:

I have the proximity mode on, and when I take my phone out of my pocket and I have some LED notification, the four lights at the bottom of the phone (menu, home, back, search) all turn on and stay on when the LED light does. Is there a way to turn this off somewhere? I've checked the FAQ and as many posts as I can but couldn't find anything. I'm running on a captivate with Darky's v10 Gingerbread. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Currently, nope. But i like that idea a lot given that the weather app/sports app that I have trigger the status bar often but I only care about some of the notifications. Perhaps I can add a advanced text filter option for each monitored app. i'll look into it.

they should timeout after a while by themselves. its an Android thing and I'm not really doing to counter that effect in proximity sensor mode.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yep, should be.
[Android Apps and Games] AshsToAshs:
It is, and works flawlessly, except that the lights for the menu buttons (back,menu,search,home) remain lighted during the noled notification screen.

Anyone know if there is a fix for that?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] pennas:
Great app!

On my Galaxy S2, touching the screen while NOLED is displaying (clock only) will light up the capacitive menu/back buttons at the bottom momentarily... does this mean that NOLED is failing to disable the touch screen (I have this option ticked)?

I'm running widgetlocker, if that has any bearing on it (seems to play very nicely with NOLED otherwise).
[Android Apps and Games] padlad:
I don't have the time displayed but i have just tried it on my S2 and touching the screen did not light up the buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I believe the S2 has this new feature where a screen touch activates the backlights. you can completely disable these lights from the Display options in Android's menu.

But to answer your question, yea, NoLED definitely does not turn off the touchscreen driver on the S2. The app was originally developed for the SGS and I had to hard code some driver values to disable the touch screen. These hard coded values are not portable and I'll have to investigate the kernel drivers of the SGS2 to see if I can replicate this on the SGS2. So far NoLED only disables the touch drivers on the SGS and its variants.
[Android Apps and Games] Jess813:
Mad mack, I am using the Nexus S 4G, and i have tried several times to create a folder through Astro for themes.. but when I do the directory looks like this;

SDcard/NoLED.adc/Themes/my_themes

is the "adc" at the the end of NoLED messing it up?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jp22382:
New Nexus S 4G owner here. Having a bit of trouble with NoLED.

Using the stock lock screen, and NoLED is locked to prevent it form being terminated.

I get the initial notification (google voice) and the NoLED notification comes up, then the screen shuts off (due to blink being enabled), but I never get any of the vibrate/audio reminders after that.

Any ideas? Does blink override everything else?

My intent was to leave the screen completely off, but still get vibrate/audio reminders.

My settings:

Blink enabled - On: 50ms - Off: 60s

Notification timeout - 15mins

Disable touch screen - On

Dim screen - On

Vibrate - On

Interval - 20s

Audio reminder - On

Interval - 20s
[Android Apps and Games] Jess813:
I would suggest to not use the widget if you are. I simply rebooted my phone and it worked, and I also answered my own question its better to create the folder when the Nexus is connected to a computer.
[Android Apps and Games] afterglow:
just installed.

lets see how it does :)
[Android Apps and Games] jp22382:
Additional: the Proximity Sensor setting also seems to disable the vibrate/audio reminders.

'Dismiss with Proximity Sensor' is not enabled, just the setting to turn the screen off while in your pocket.

So it appears that whenever the screen is off, blink or otherwise, these reminders just don't work???

Tested by setting phone sit on my desk, repeat notifications work.

Put finger over proximity sensor, notifications stop.

Put back on desk, notifications start again.
[Android Apps and Games] spiicytuna:
Same here. . .
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You figured it out, but yea. you can't have the .adc extension in there. NoLED is hard coded to look into a plain folder name called "NoLED" under /sdcard

The audio reminder and vibrator restart every time the screen goes on and off. (I know, its not exactly cool, but thats an Android limitation that I couldn't work around). So if you set the audio reminder to be something greater than your on/off time in Blink mode, you'll never hear the sound. You can try to prolong the "off" period and set the audio/vibrate interval to be something less than that time.

Known issue. nothing we can do about it unfortunately. Read FAQ for more details.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I have a weird problem lately and I'm not sure whether it's related to the ROM or the app so I'm going to post here first.

With the phone in sig, I noticed that sometimes I don't get notification sounds and proper NoLED notification I'm supposed to get when I get a text message while the phone is in sleep/deep sleep mode. I have trouble taking it out of sleep mode too, as I have to spam the power button or cover the proximity sensor, then I'll be able to see the NoLED notification.
[Android Apps and Games] jp22382:
Thanks for the reply.

Unless i'm being dense... my screen off time is 60sec and my alert interval is 20sec. Still not working while the screen is off.

I read through so

e of the earlier posts, set my screen off to 400sec and interval to 10sec, that didn't even work.

Also, I tried disabling blink completely, enabled Proximity Sensor, and the reminders would stop whenever the screen was off and start up again as soon as it was back on.

*confused*

EDIT: I ended up just using Tasker to achieve what I wanted. Repeat vibrate/audio notifications with the screen completely off:

http://tasker.wikidot.com/misnotrem
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Try to avoid using the power button to dismiss the notifications. Use the back or the Home key. As for not receiving the notification sound, I don't think this is related to NoLED as I couldn't replicate this problem here.

I tried to replicate your issue but NoLED played the audio reminder tone even when the screen was off. I've discovered another issue though: audio reminder's volume never exceeds the Media Volume set in Android. So I fixed this issue and now the audio volume should match whatever you have set in the Notification Volume in Android's settings.

Glad you got it sorted out through Tasker though. Should be more efficient that way as NoLED is really reliant on the screen being on to work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I don't use the power button. I use the Home button to dismiss notifications. But unless I press the power button, sometimes the screen will stay black. It might be related to the proximity bug that Gingerbread ROMs have as sometimes covering and then uncovering the proximity sensor will bring the notification icon back. Spamming the power button may also bring the notification icon back.

I just upgraded to a new gingerbread rom (goatrip, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031038, using it with fugumod 3.8-kernel) and noticed a really high battery drain. I have permanent time display in addition with hiding notification with the proximity sensor enabled (so the time is only displayed when i take the phone out of my pocket).

now i have the problem that the phone is not going into sleep mode when time is hidden because of the proximity sensor. I'm checking it with android battery stats in settings, it always says it is woken up. This is the cause of high battery drain (I disabled noled, and battery drain was gone).

before i used doc's JVB-rom (gingerbread and fugumod-kernel, too), it worked right. so a specific rom problem?

it looks like the display is not completely disabled (at least not in a way the phone goes into sleep mode). the mentioned rom has some galaxy s II tweaks ported, especially the screen off animation. The animation is not triggered when the screen shuts off because of the proximity sensor in noled - maybe a indication, that the screen is not completely off?

to test it, simply

- enable permanent time display in noled settings

- switch off screen

- let the time display

- block the proximity sensor for 2-3 mins: the time gets hidden like it should

- look at gingerbread battery stats

before the phone went into sleep mode, but now it always stays in full power mode

is the source of noled somewhere? i could investigate and help myself, want it back as fast as possible. Permanent time display in addition with hiding it when it is in the pocket is really a key feature of noled for me. really great idea :-)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
wow, i have no idea. i don't have that bug here :confused: I'm running JVH on my i9000m atm.

NoLED never did set the CPU to sleep when objects are in proximity. By just invoking this hidden API/wakelock in Android, the CPU stays up, screen off, and proximity sensor on. It should still save substantially in the battery department though.

NoLED's is not open source, sorry :o

I tried WidgetLocker to see if that would solve the Missed Call problem but unfortunately it didn't. Problem remains where an incoming call wipes any existing notifs but doesn't leave one of its own, just a blank screen.

Haven't tried Tasker yet but I'll have to give that a go.

A no lock screen version would be great. I'm still in a Blackberry world where custom LED notifications are the norm and you can touch anything on the phone to wake it up. Just need to get at least that far to swing to droid 100%.

Fascinate 2.2/Noled/Mised Calls

As suggested I tried WidgetLocker to see if it would lock the screen after an incoming call, allowing Noled to do it's thing. That didn't work, actually created a bigger problem where the power button wouldn't respond unless you actually opened the email that triggered the alert. Screen stays on and all, works wonders for battery life.

Didn't try Tasker but spent a lot of time reading those that did try various screen lock scenarios. Seems like Froyo changed things around a bit and many are having difficulty with it.

So is it safe to assume the Fascinate will be without a missed call alert for a while? Mail and SMS are fine, never a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
as much as i hate saying it. yes :(

you can always try one of the very early versions that did not rely on a lock screen. Versions 2.x I believe from the official website. You lose 3rd party app support and possibly the icons. But I believe it'll work for missed calls.
[Android Apps and Games] deekdeek:
almost works with Nexus S - incoming call borks all notifications (obviously as screen turns on) anyway to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
this happens with the latest version as well ?
[Android Apps and Games] deekdeek:
yes i am using 4.3.2 , im also using miui rom if that makes a difference ?

also i notice that if i have a mail notification waiting , and i check my email on the computer the screen will come on for a few secs and cancel the notification(which is fine ) but why turn the screen on?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyby1023:
That's worth a try, I can live without a few frills until the SGS2 makes it stateside. Any flavor of 2.x better than another for the Fascinate?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've actually added some checks that specifically saves NoLED current state when Android terminates it due to low mem and restores it back when it resumes. Seems this isn't exactly being called in MIUI. :confused: any task killers ? they could be the reason for this.

I'm not entirely sure frankly. Its been a while but if you have a look at the logcat you can actually trace when we started the dependency on lock screens and get the version just before that.
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
hello!

i like the idea of your app but recognize a high drain.

i installed it, left anything as it was. put the widget to my desktop. clicked on it and in standby the mA shown at battery monitor widget raised from 5 to ~45 mA.

:(

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hmmm.. thats not supposed to happen if no notifications are on the screen. I work hard to make sure NoLED only listens and not run anything in the background that could possibly consume battery, cpu cycles or wake the phone from a deep sleep mode.

you might want to check out the "battery saving features" submenu for more battery consumption optimizations.

i reinstalled, rebooted and now its down to 5mA again. thanks, i keep watching ^^

[Android Apps and Games] bodypilot1978:
Feature request: dismiss notification when battery low.

I've been using NoLed ever since I own a Android device. I really like it!

I've got only one remark though: NoLed sometimes drains the battery to a point where my Desire switches off automatically. Now off course this is by design; if a notification comes on it will continue to show until either the timeout value is reached (I've set it to 2 hours), I dismiss the notification myself or the battery runs out.

What I'd really like to see is another "Battery Saving" or "Time settings" menu option: "Disable all notifications when battery is lower than <a configurable value>".

This option would take precedence over the "Notification timeout", i.e. if the configured battery level is reached before the timeout value the notifications are dismissed.

Do you think it's possible to add this option?
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
@bodypilot

This could be accomplished by the tasker app (with the benefit that you could turn off wireless or GPS etc. in the same profile). Typically madmack has suggested Tasker for things like this where it sometimes makes more sense to do it outside the application than inside. It's totally up to him but I do something similar with tasker and it works well.
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
It doesn't look like Tasker directly supports NoLed; or at least it's not mentioned as supported third party software. Would you use Tasker to just kill or load NoLed as needed?
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
I should have noted that madmack has exposed NoLED through Tasker as a plugin with the options to enable or disable it. I've attached a screenshot to show this.
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
Perfect. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Rural:
I can't get this to work on my Samsung Galaxy S2.

Unrooted, using GoLauncher EX and Widgetlocker.

Also, I would like to help translate into Swedish. If that's still needed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
The problem is Widget Locker and NoLed aren't compatible. Look at #5 on the NoLED FAQ http://www.devasque.com/noled/FAQ.php
[Android Apps and Games] AmesCell:
It looks like if NoLED is actively displaying a notification and Tasker disables it the notification stays. It seems like it should dismiss itself.
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
hmmm... i recently changed to Gingerbread (DebusROM & DamianGTO kernel) and for some reason once I'd re-installed everything my NoLED wasn't letting the screen come back on after it had gone blank through the use of the proximity sensor. (not to disable them, just to hide the screen for in pocket use etc).

I've no idea what's different though. It's definitely just set to use the sensor and NOT dismiss the notifications. Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] byterapper:
I might have found a flaw: when you use skype with skype status as an event (makes skype showing up as a symbol in the top bar), even without any actual change noled recognizes events from time to time.

Can someone confirm that or do i just have splitsecond connection breakdowns that induce them?

@ madmack: did you ever think of making it possible to set individual timeouts for each app? I don't want to use a general one right now, as some things like missed calls are important to me not to miss.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
No you're not alone, it's an issue with Skype and the way it keeps updating its notification icon. Really annoying but they don't seem to be in any rush to fix things in their app :(
